My theory: It lets them know if they're being too conservative with it or not. If you slam your frame into fifty cinderblocks without so much as a ding, perhaps you can afford to get a little crazier with it for the competition robot. But if your robot caves in by so much as breathing on it the wrong way, then it's time to dial it back.
